You are an aspiring Pokémon Trainer, ready to start your journey. You've spent the past few years learning more and more about Pokémon and planning out various teams.
Finally, the big day arrives and you rush to the Lab to get your very first Pokémon. The Professor greets you and you eagerly smile, thinking of the adventure you are about to begin. As you daydream through most of the Professor's speech, you finally feel a firm grip of your shoulder. You open your eyes and see the professor glancing at you, upset about his wasted speech.
You quickly apologise and promise the Professor you'll help him with his research as a way of apologising. He looks at you happily and points at his computer screen. You immediately notice a huge map full of various symbols and colours and notes. You ask the Professor about it and he reveals that he is trying to find out which Pokémon live in which areas based on temperatures and locations. He then points at your home region and asks you to build a representative team, to help with his research.
Despite your other plans, you decide to help the Professor, mainly because you owe him one.
After obtaining your Pokédex and PokéBalls and pick your very first partner, you are ready to go.So... what's your region like?

Rules

You may only trade in order to evolve your Pokémon or if your game of choice is Pokémon XD or Colosseum.Hacking/Cheating is not allowed.You are not allowed to use Pokémon that can change types. (Rotom for example).Legendary Pokémon are not allowed.If one of your Pokémon's pre-evolution has a different type than the one you are supposed to use, you must evolve it as soon as possible.You may only use one Pokémon of each type.Your team must be assigned by another challenger.Your challenge ends when you've defeated the Champion in your region as follows:

Using a search engine, find out the general weather forecast in your area for the next 7 days.
Add up all the high and low temperatures for each day, then divide the number you obtained by 14 in order to obtain an average temperature for each day.
Based on your number, use the list bellow to find out what types you may use.

I apologize, but could you switch one of those Pokemon with one I can get Pre-Gym 2. The first one that I can get legally on this team is Pienco (which evolves into Forretress of course) after Gym 2 in the Illex Forest. (Both Misdrevus and Sneasel can only be gotten in the Mt. Silver area ((Which I'm fine with, I suppose)), Qwilfish after getting to Kanto ((Super Rod is gotten on Silence Bridge)), Eevee is obtained right before Gym 4 ((Have to talk to Bill about the Time Capsule first)), and Venonat can only be captured in Bug Catching Tournaments ((Right before Gym 3)). )

Of course, if you're fine with me starting up the challenge at Illex Forest, or perhaps hacking in my first available Pokemon (Pienco) prior to the first gym, then you don't have to switch anything.

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

Thanks. That's a well-balanced team. The only one I would have a problem with is Leavanny, due to it being a Bug-Type, but I'll use it anyway.

I thought that I might as well give a 3rd Badge update. Which, surprisingly enough, I struggled more with Falkner than with Whitney. At any rate... I chose Totodile at the start in order to use it as a cut slave and rushed through the beginning part of the game, quickly catching a Spinarak, Poliwag, and a Gastly right off the bat. I boxed my Totodile at this point and used my Spinarak to beat through Bellsprout tower. After that, I trained the other two on my team slightly. I got lucky, and my (at the time) level 8 Poliwag ended up beating his Pidgeotto. Poliwag then was able to zoom through both Slowpoke Well and Bugsy's gym. My Rival then went down without much effort.

Realizing that none of my team could learn cut, I got out Totodile and taught him cut. After getting through Ilex Forest, I stared at the Pokemon Communication Center and then put Totodile back into its box and then beat through the underground tunnel. Feeling pretty good with my levels at that point, I entered Whitney's gym and slammed through everyone with Poliwag. Whitney's Milktank was quickly finished off by Gastly's Curse and Hypnosis. With that, I grabbed my Plain Badge out of Whitney's shaking hands and saved the game.

Blah, my computer crashed as I was trying to post an update... Ah well, I'll just go with a less detailed version... And I guess no spoiler tags around my team since those are acting up right now... weird.

At any rate, LilJz, how about... Swampert, Walrein, Dusclops, Aggron, Mightyena, and Weezing.

(Less Detailed) Crystal Update #2

Badges Recently Received:

I got every Pokemon but Jynx (Who is only out in the morning and day hours). Traded Haunter with myself to evolve him into a Gengar. Used Eevee through the whole thing to try to evolve him, but his happiness doesn't want to budge. My other guys evolved. Made quick work of each gym, and now I'm twiddling my fingers waiting for the morning (well, more like finally working on my homework that I was ignoring).

Username: KagamiChanVersion: Pokémon PlatinumDegree Range:Well, since it's the middle of the winter and we got a lot of low temperatures, I got the grand total of 1 degree Celsius ._. so I think I'm in the 15 range xD

As I traveled to the E4, my Eevee finally evolved into an Umbreon. (Too bad that I messed up and forgot to teach it a dark type attack. Now the only thing that it can really do is take hits...) Once there, I easily defeated my rival, bought items, and finally defeated the E4 with some tough fights. Gengar was the star of this show, even if he was fairly low leveled compared to Umbreon at this time. The credits rolled, and I made my way to Kanto. Finding some difficulty with Lt. Surge at the time, I beat Sabrina first (primarily using Umbreon), then Erika (with my low leveled Jynx), Misty (with 'Recoil' the Magneton), and finally Lt. Surge with my Umbreon for the most part. I still have more badges to get, but I thought that this would be a good spot to update.
Current Team:

I LOVE IT! Well, except for Drifblim. I hate having to wait until fridays for the stupid Drifloon to show up. And I usually miss the thing altogether ._. I'm always too late x.x other than that... I always wanted to try out Glaceon and never had the chance to so thanks xD
